STENNIS SPACE CENTER, Miss. - Launcher’s 3D printed E-2 liquid rocket engine successfully demonstrated nominal thrust, pressure, and oxidizer/fuel mixture ratio for the first time in a test April 21 at NASA Stennis Space Center. E-2 is a closed cycle 3D printed, high-performance liquid rocket engine in development for the Launcher Light launch vehicle, which has an inaugural launch scheduled for 2024. A single E-2 engine will boost Launcher Light to low Earth orbit with 150kg of payload. As a next step, Launcher will test again in early May. (Source: Launcher Space, 3Dprintingmedia, 04/25/22)
